Hi all and thanks in advance.
RE
2001 Jeep Cherokee Diesel VM 2.5TD
The wastegate actuater is connected to an intercooler pipe by a rubber pipe.
Is this correct as I assume it requires a vacuum not pressure to work?
PLEASE can someone post a photo of the correct pipe setup in that area?

Hello -
All I can honestly tell you is "Good luck." We're a primarily North American board here, and the only Diesels we usually work with in the XJ is the Renault 2.1L/126ci turbodiesel, used 1985-1987.

The VAM/VM Motori Diesel (what you've got) was primarily used in the European market (some Asian, and possibly South America,) and never made it here in any numbers, that I know of.

You may want to pillage any local Jeep clubs you can find to find a mate who can give you a pic of what you need, or plough around on ebay.co.uk for a "Factory Service Manual" (FSM) - which is something that every serious Jeep owner should have anyhow. I would imagine that European FSMs would have info on the VAM Diesel - because I haven't see it in any of the US FSMs.

As I said, good luck. Sorry I couldn't help you more, but I hope this gives you a point in the right direction...

 

Thanks, will try..

 

Oh yes, that just reminded me!

Check out www.lostjeeps.com. There are some folks over there with the 2.8L which MAY have similar turbo plumbing.
